The breakfast area was clean and inviting. Only to have curdled milk in container on counter. Lack of wafflemix, old out of date hard cereal, and no coffee in coffee holder. This was all an hour before breakfast time was over. Both days.

Could not use the air conditioner because it was extremely noisy. The owner told us there was nothing that could be done. Luckily it was not over 80 degrees that night.

Walls are paper thin, pillows are tiny, you talk to a person on a screen for check in, and we skipped the morning shower - bugs started crawling out of the drain and there was hair stuck in the drain as well. 0 stars - stay somewhere else if you can. The cheaper rate wasn’t worth it.

So-so stay. A place to sleep.
For the most part, it clean and comfortable. Regarding the free breakfast… for a 7 day stay, I found it available 3 days. Two days with no coffee. Even in the room when they cleaned it it was not restocked with coffee.
Located nicely near a Perkins and McDonald’s, Target all with in walking distance.
